Abstract: A banding clip has two oppositely facing band engaging mechanisms for receiving the opposite ends of a looped band. The band has a lower base portion which has transversely extending teeth of rectangular cross section on its upper surface. The clip is open sided to permit the release of the band engaging mechanism. A hinge is located between the band engaging mechanisms so the clip may conform somewhat to the shape of a banded object. A tightening tool is engageable against an external tool face located on the clip between the oppositely facing band engaging mechanisms, and a band outlet is formed in this tool face at a position which is higher than and spaced from the opposite band engaging mechanisms.

Abstract: A space heating stove is located near a wall-supported shield which has an internal airflow passage. Heat radiated by the stove to the shield heats air in the airflow passage, and a fan moves this heated air from the channel into a duct system which releases the heated air into the building.
